----------
	I'm not familiar with this particular hardware setup, but many
HP instruments write files using LIF (Logical Interchange Format), which
was the original file system for the HP BASIC and Pascal Workstations.
	If you can verify that that's what it's writing, HP and various
third-parties offer packages that read/write LIF on PCs.  Contact your HP
sales rep. and/or check the ads. in Workstation magazine.
